Glycerol kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of glycerol from ATP, yielding glycerol-3-phosphate and ADP. The standard state free energy for hydrolysis of glycerol-3-
phosphate is -9.20 kj/mol and for the hydrolysis of ATP is-30.5 kJ/mol.
Calculate the standard-state free energy change and equilibrium constant for the glycerol kinase reaction at 37 *C.

Give correct explanation
The hydrolysis of pyrophosphate to orthophosphate drives biosynthetic reactions such as DNA synthesis. In Escherichia coli,
a pyrophosphatase catalyzes this hydrolytic reaction. The pyrophosphatase has a mass of 120 kDa and consists of six identical
subunits. A unit of activity for this enzyme, U, is the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes 10 umol of pyrophosphate in
15 minutes. The purified enzyme has a Vnax of 2800 U per milligram of enzyme.
When (S] >> KM, how many micromoles of substrate can 1 mg of enzyme hydrolyze per second?
Vnax =
umol -s. mg-
If cach enzyme subunit has one active site, how many micromoles of active sites, or (E]r, are there in 1 mg of enzyme?
(Er =
umol - mg-
